CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. - John Murry scored 33 points and Jared Savage added 20 to lead Austin Peay (11-19, 7-9) to an 88-79 win over Southeast Missouri (14-17, 9-7) Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams.

SEMO entered the game in posiiton to win the Ohio Valley Conference West Division with a win over APSU, but the Governors had other things in mind.

APSU shot 51.9 percent from the field and drained 14 three-pointers to spoil the Redhawks senior day.

"Obviously, it was a disappointing loss," said head coach Rick Ray. "We didn't defend, jacked up shots too early in the shot clock and didn't have the right mental state. We took Austin Peay lightly and derved what we got."

SEMO led, 44-41, when Antonius Cleveland knocked down a 3-pointer with 18:21 left to play in the second half, but that was it.

The Governors never relinquished their lead after Savage's jumper gave them a 45-44 edge.

Jonathan Dalton's layup did tie the game at 68-68 at the 7:30 mark before APSU put the Redhawks away for good.

SEMO started slow and trailed by as many as 13 points with just under four minutes left in the first half.
 
Down, 39-31, after Jaylen Benton's layup with 1:56 left, APSU's Dre'Kalo was ejected from the game after receiving two Class A technical fouls. Denzel Mahoney made three of four free throws as a result of the fouls to spur a 9-2 run getting the Redhawks to within a point, 41-40, at the intermission.
 
SEMO shot just 31.4 percent (11-of-35) from the field and 18.8 percent (3-of-16) from 3-point range in the first half.

Murray shot 9-of-17 from the field, 5-of-6 from 3-point range and 10-of-11 at the free throw line to lead APSU. He also pulled down seven rebounds.

Savage added three 3-pointers and made a perfect 7-of-7 free throws, while Kenny Jones turned in a double-double 18 points and 10 boards. Josh Robinson, who had four 3-pointers of his own, contributed 14 points.

Trey Kellum finished with a double-double 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Cleveland and Denzel Mahoney scored 20 points apiece to lead SEMO.

The Redhawks shot 37.5 percent (27-of-72) from the field. SEMO struggled to a 16 percent clip (4-of-25) from 3-point range.

SEMO will wait on the outcome of the UT Martin and Murray State game to see what its tournament seed will be. If UTM wins, the Redhawks will be a No. 5 seed. If UTM loses, SEMO will be the No. 2.
